A newly formed House committee made to challenge the Chinese Communist Party held its debut hearing with a bipartisan show of concern about Beijing’s efforts to sow division among Americans and undermine U.S. business interests and human rights values.
and a Biden administration warning to Beijing over potential arms sales to Russia have also stoked ire in China.of the United States, describing Washington as a “hegemonic,” “bullying” and “abusive” force in international relations. “The United States has long been attempting to mold other countries and the world order with its own values and political system in the name of promoting democracy and human rights,” read the statement.
Democrats meanwhile favored changes to strengthen domestic policy and investment as well as steps to safeguard democratic structures at home. Krishnamoorthi said the committee should focus on boosting competitiveness with China “through investments in technologies of the future, workforce improvement, and by fixing weaknesses in our economy such as in our supply chain and even our legal immigration system.
“But the Chinese side is prepared for a scenario where it has no partners,” said the person, referring to the U.S. Congress. “The Chinese side has always been prepared for that outcome, prepared for political manipulation in the United States.”Analysts say China will probably be watching closely to see how the committee’s hawkish start will be translated into executive action or further attempts to contain Beijing.
Among those who testified at Tuesday’s hearing were former national security adviser H.R. McMaster and former deputy national security adviser Matt Pottinger, both of whom served in the Trump White House and issued fiery warnings about the threat of Chinese military buildup and surveillance through social app TikTok.
